WASHINGTON (AP/CBSDFW) -  Donald Trump has won Louisiana and its eight electoral votes as well as Arkansas and its six electoral votes.

The Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was awarded Connecticut's seven electoral votes.

The result was not a surprise, as Connecticut was considered a safely Democratic state.

History was on Donald Trump's side in the state. Louisiana hasn't given its electoral votes to a Democrat since Bill Clinton won 52 percent of the vote two decades ago.

Donald Trump leads 137 to 104 in the electoral college.
